Just came back from Jakarta from a last min job stint to help Domonic for his EIB project. Chris just send me back from the airport, really appreciate him for sending me all the way home although he stay in bedok. Great Pal to have!!! Steady Brother!!!
Ok on to the trip!!! Was quite an intersting trip, travelling to a foreign country i have heard of but never experienced before. Reached Indeonesia around 1145, came out to a huge crowd of ppl jostling for our attention. From money changers to taxi drivers, all shouting and hoping to pull u to their side. Even have ppl try to carry ur luggage up the taxi and claim money from u... sweat..
Lucky Dom was there to help me out... He told me can only take taxis from reputable companies. good choices will be Silver Bird and Blue Bird.
Traffic at Jakarta is horrible..... I would never dare to drive there... Cars drive so near each other, and they lane change recklessly, horns are always sounding!!!
The interesting thing is whenever theres a jam, there will be ppl trying to earn money:
1) Selling drinks and newspapers
2) Playing guitar and singing
3) Direct traffic
3) Direct traffic
There are even ppl who sit in the traffic road begging for money, can u imagine that!!!
We had our lunch at this Nasi Padang store which Dom recommended
Its like a mini buffet: they put all the food on the table and which ever plate u eat u pay, at the end of your meal, they keep the plates u have not touched... Wierd way of eating, not very hygenic i think but its their culture.
Went straight to work after lunch at Punkowono Residences, a pretegious bungalow in Jakarta.
Lots of problem when we went there. Programming, wiring etc... Headache.
Look at the DB wiring, like this also can!!! No trunking, nothing!!!! and damn messy!!!!
Work and work, had a burger for dinner on site then continue working..... all the way till 1130pm. Damn tired but not finished yet..... Tml continue.....
